My favourite shop in Grasmere
Grasmere is a charming village in Cumbria’s Lake District. If you’re visiting Grasmere, drop by the Herdy shop for the cutest Herdwick sheep souvenirs, like these irresistible Herdy banks. Oh, and ask them to start making fridge magnets too, like the one I found in Patagonia (pictured below). Sheep wool and fridge magnets make a fab combination!
